RoboAvatar, Male and Female

I FINALLY FINISHED THE DAMNED MALE ROBO AVATAR THINGIE.

MALE! FEMALE!

Drive me crazy, seriously... I think all together this was about 30 hours of stuff, and I still want to do proper textures eventually.

Mind, these are AVATARS! They are the 'naked' defaults, if you put things on it will replace the parts of this, but if you take it off it will return to ROBOAVATAR GOODNESS! You can replace the eyes and eyebrows, I've gone through the trouble to properly divide and line up the 'accepted' bodypart connection points for every body part.

I really hope lots of people derive these with amazing textures, but I have to warn you! Both avatars have ALOT of textures! I've gone through the work to make my mappings aspect-friendly so the only tearing that's really bad is mostly with spheres I did quick top/bottom mappings with.

Of course, you can get the sources here... http://operationinertia.org/IMVU/Sources/

This will allow people who have enough experience in 3D Studio Max to export their own products to make ADVANCED DERIVATIONS! It's a trend I'm trying to start, mostly driven by my interest in Free and Open Source Software.

dear that is awesome! saw them in your catalog and was wondering about them lol... pritty cool only one question; how did you get them to animate? I have an elf head that still will not animate.. oh yea thinking of making different races..

you know i wonder how the glow armor would look on these avatars?

They are so Matrix smashed into IRobot like.

You will need to review the IMVU Head document, but before you do that, you should have a solid understanding of Morph Targets.

Now the female avatar has proper textures on it, I will do the Male later.

looking good! morph targets eh? well i will go through the tutorials in Max to see what i can learn...great job btw..

That would be neat, like troll, dwarf, hobbit and stuff like that?

I finally did the male version, too...



Anyone gonna derive? u.u

Nice job! I was going to derive but I keep getting an error message when i try to submit it. I dont know why tho seems auther Dev's are able to. Must be somthing on my part.

What's the error message, exactly?

Hmmm? Cant remember but I think It had somthing to do with the file address the one you copy and paste. I dont think it would save right not sure.

your gonna make me derive from it arent ya?! hmm what kinds of parts can i add to your products?

Any parts you want!

ok first I want to know how you did it in max lol modified the avatar? started from scratch? hmm now you have me guessing because i feel compelled to create something simular lmao...

I kind of made them from scratch, but it's more like I made them 'over' the default avatars, it's important to get everything lined up so people can put on their own stuff.

yea i work the same way. I have to use the avatar as a 'model' for the items im working (which i am still working on sloowly)

It'll all make perfect sense in time. I swear, anyone can do this stuff if they take them time to learn to work with it.

And... I'm not going to make any more products until I get more derivations of my roboavatars! Really! Maybe!

is that a bribe or a convinient idle sarcastic threat lmao...
I could come up with some rockin stuff for them just need the time and well.. time to do it.
p.s.
I need help with an elven head i made under Genome Corp.
for some reason the animations would not work which i think is due to the modifications i made to the points....anyway ill leave that to another discussion in the meshing area..

Just to make sure you know... when working with morph targets, you can not add or remove vertices or faces after the morph target is applied. You need to have the same verticies present, not just the same number, but the exact same ones.

You can only add modifiers that change the positions of verticies (warps), you can't reset the UVW maps or the weighting.

well all i did was move the verticies and i guess that was enough for it to stop the animations...(shrug)
